Access Model object in a JSP without using the ModelAndView object?

I am using spring mvc with Annotations, see the following snippet

    @RequestMapping(value = "/configuration/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public MyModel viewConfiguration() {

The problem I am having accessing the 'MyModel' class in my JSP.

How can I do this, without using the ModelAndView object?

This shorthand syntax means that MyModel becomes a model attribute named myModel (i.e. class name with the first letter decapitalized).

View name is inferred from the URL.

You could set MyModel as a request attribute to be accessed in your JSP. I'm curious, why don't you want to use ModelAndView? After all, it does what you want to do here, which displays the view and provides a container to hold your objects you want to reference in your view.

By the way, if this is an Ajax call, you will need to add @ResponseBody to the API so that your javascript can read the response in the callback function:-

@RequestMapping(value = "/configuration/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody MyModel viewConfiguration() {
   ...
}
